SJ_ZeroIf it isn’t search or video, Google always has one foot out the door.
I believe that one of the reasons the stadia failed is everybody knew about the Google graveyard and wasn’t willing to buy into an ecosystem destined to die.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find that this is also something that would affect their ability to attract good talent. People want to feel like they’re working on something meaningful that’s going to stick around for a while. Putting years of your life into developing something for Google just to have it hit the Google graveyard has got to be deeply dissatisfying.
cultsuperstarIt was hilarious when the Stadia head tweeted that it wasn’t going anywhere and then a month later it was announced that it’s being shut down lol
Dark ArcIt was… but it was also kind of sad as a former user… The platform actually had its serious upsides (portability, low device power draw, by virtue of streaming games THE BEST anticheat you could ever imagine, etc).
I agree, I was a Stadia user as well. I had some nitpicks with it but it was a solid platform and I played several games on it.
